[Review] Oddity (8/10)

 

Title - Oddity
Production - Keeper Pictures, Shudder
Starring - Carolyn Bracken, Gwilym Lee, Caroline Menton, Steve Wall, Tadhg Murphy, Johnny French
Writer - Damian Mc Carthy
Director - Damian Mc Carthy
Release - 19 July 2024

I was loving every moment of this movie right up until the third act when all was revealed, and then it felt a little too easy to have the antagonist as who he was. I was hoping for something more... sinister.

But as a horror, this worked wonderfully. The scares were not really jump scares but they were there to serve a purpose. 

That big house had a character of its own, though I was a bit bothered that there was only one toilet, and the master bedroom didn't come with one. I guess it's an old architecture.

This writer-director would be one to look out for. A quick search and I saw Oddity used an old character he had in a short film called "How Olin Lost His Eye". Made me want to look it up.
